I reckon we win 3-1 in normal time, then a tense 30mins where we're too knackered to do anything but somehow cling on. Goes to penalties, Dougie gets his redemption, and Emi finds another set of supporters to massively piss off. We win.

Someone throws a giant inflatable banana on the pitch and Emi pretends to have sex with it and/or pretend it's his willy and/or acts like it's the world cup and/or plants a Villa flag in the centre circle, Graeme Souness style.

2.1 to us and they hit is injury time with an equaliser as Olsen is upfield for a corner having had a good match

Can Pau play DM?

Decent ball carrier / passer.  With limited midfield/forward options, could allow Luiz and McGinn to play higher up.

Pretty much exactly what I'm predicting, including sex with an inflatable fruit, however I think it will be a pineapple.

Slow to turn, slow on the run, and won't have the ball automatically facing forward. Try it in pre-season but too late now.

I could live with that. Happy Birthday, Algy!

Maybe he's just had a horrible experience with Quickbooks. We've all been there.

Tend to agree RE experimenting in season, we're just so short of options that our control / build up is compromised.

2-0 to us then both side park the bus until we get to penalties. Then who knows.

If Tielemans can make it and we can find some last reserves of energy, we can do it.  Not expecting that, but it is possible.
